Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Was nice and easy at the first sip but after a couple sips it really starts to bite a bit.

Nose: light caramel/marshmallow with some type of citrus Palate: spicy, light citrus, caramel Finish: Medium in length, lingering sweetness. Spice makes it seem like it is higher in proof

Ok, but not on my top 10

Simple on the front and sophisticated on the backend. This is a very pleasant, easy drinking bourbon. 3.85.

Have seen many positive reviews on this so I went ahead and got it for $33 on sale. This is sourced bourbon though they will be producing their own soon. Poured neat, good legs and nice mouthfeel. Nose has vanilla, black cherry and a touch of rye spice. Some heat on the nose but not overbearing. Palate is sweet vanilla with cherry oak, mild caramel nuttiness and heat. Not a lot of body but the cherry vanilla is focused. Finish is medium with spice, oak and lingering sweetness. It runs a little hot as the proof doesn't expand and bloom the flavors just adds heat. My preference leans to the sweet side but would not repurchase. Its not bad, just not enough complexity, balance or depth to warrant price......71/100.....I paid $33 but at $40 or more there are so many better choices for same or less just steer clear imo

Taste: Binny's Barrel pick #1808591, 4 years old, 1.5 oz neat in Glen Cairn. NOSE: (3.25) A bit light on the nose. Vanilla and caramel corn are dominant but not much else. The nose is good but there is not enough there to really draw me in. PALATE: (3.75) Palate is good. Definately above average. There is pastry with a sort of vanilla cream filling. Best way to describe is like a boston cream donut without the chocolate topping. There is some peaches in the background, and a bit of cherry pie on the back palate. Really nicely done for a younger straight bourbon. FINISH (3.75): The oak kicks up a notch on the finish. A bit of pepper and vanilla carry on. The finish for a 93 proof whiskey is pretty darn good OVERALL: This is one that really surprised me, and to the positive side. There are plenty of good flavors on the palate and nose. There is a youngness to it, but not that oily creamed corn taste that some new bourbons have. More of a popcorn ball. The flavors really play well together. I think if this was at a higher proof (100 maybe) and was in the oak longer it would go from above average to being a knockout. I did shy away from the higher proof, older limited release because of price BUT that may have just been what I am after. And there is the rub.....this was a well picked 4 yr old for 39.00 which is right on the money for what it is. The limited release however brings you into competition with the big boys, and for that I am really expecting alot. Big price to pay to take a chance on a sourced whiskey with not alot of time in the market. For this one though, Binny's really picked a nice barrel to introduce a newer brand in their store, kudos to them. Limestone Distillery will definately be one to watch. Steve Beam is definately no slouch in the game and the lineage and know how is showcased here. This bottle was an excellent bang for the buck, and I wouldn't shy away from buying this one

Spicy, warm, and woody. Dry enough to leave me ready for more.
